Hundreds of mysterious ancient Nazca land artworks found with aid of AI

The research was carried out by the Nazca Institute of Yamagata University, in Japan, and by IBM Research, which allowed the analysis of a vast amount of geospatial image data, with the objective of shedding light on one of the greatest mysteries of American archeology. These 303 new figurative geoglyphs were found in six months and made it possible to distinguish two major types: some giant linear and others smaller in relief, which represent m…

Hundreds of new geoglyphs appeared on the Nazca plateau: for what they were created

In the southern Peruvian Nazca, 303 new geoglyphs have been discovered in six months. That is almost double the known number of these mysterious line drawings. The discovery was made possible by Japanese scientific research using artificial intelligence.

In het Zuid-Peruaanse Nazca zijn op zes maanden tijd 303 nieuwe geogliefen ontdekt. Dat is bijna een verdubbeling van het bekende aantal van deze mysterieuze lijntekeningen. De ontdekking kwam tot stand dankzij Japans wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat gebruikmaakt van artificiële intelligentie.

“Huge”: More than 300 new Nazca lines found thanks to artificial intelligence

With the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) system, a group of archaeologists has uncovered in just a few months almost as many geoglyphs in the Nazca Desert (Peru) as those found in all of the last century. The large number of new figures has allowed the researchers to differentiate between two main types, and to offer an explanation of the possible reasons or functions that led their creators to draw them on the ground more than 2,000 yea…
